Sticky & Sweet Tour 2008

The Sticky & Sweet Tour only played stadiums in Europe instead of small arena’s

Madonna asked the crowd each night during her request section which song to sing. In Europe there were mainly 2 songs performed/chosen: Like a Virgin and Express Yourself, the U.S. received a different song each night

During the Sticky & Sweet Tour Madonna and Guy Ritchie officially announced their divorce

Seymour Stein (who first signed Madonna) attended Madonna’s show in Berlin, she dedicated You Must Love Me to him

Madonna wore a hairpiece during the last segment of her show, suddenly there was a fringe

Madonna performed a stunning mix of Like a Prayer with Felixx’ Don’t You Want Me, an incredible mash-up

During She’s Not Me Madonna threw her heart shaped sunglasses into the audience

Robyn was among the support acts and could be seen at most of the European gigs, Paul Oakenfold played his set in London and Bob Sinclar did so in Paris

In New York Pharrell performed with Madonna on stage during Beat Goes On and Give it 2 Me

Some guest performances could be seen during the show on the screens, Britney (Human Nature), Pharrell + Kanye West (Beat Goes On)

In London a speaker was blown up during the gig, most people in the back couldn’t hear a thing

Because Madonna started late in London, around 25000 people were left stranded after the show as public transport had shut down

During the tour a HOT ticket was sold that guaranteed you access to the golden circle, gave you a leather wallet, a laminate and a wristband

Amsterdam was the only country to have a unique gift which was a bag with the Sticky & Sweet logo on it

In Nice people with a HOT ticket gained entrance later than people with a regular golden circle ticket, causing them to complain and made M’s management change everything and early access was granted to Hot Ticket holders from then on

In Zurich Madonna hadn’t finished her soundcheck when people were let in, M joked saying she should’ve charged them twice

The tourbook only contained pictures from a new photoshoot done by Tom Munro

The new video to Die Another Day was created during the same photoshoot

Vogue was performed live to the music of 4 Minutes as a mash up

Madonna preached to the audience about waking up and showed another video with terrible images of what’s going on in the world with heroes and bad asses titled ‘Get Stupid’

Madonna was very clear in telling her audiences to vote for Barack Obama, there was even a Barack Obama Sticky & Sweet shirt!
